Donald Trump abruptly walked out of the Manhattan federal courtroom during closing arguments in the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial on Friday. Trump left as Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan, argued that he did not respect the jury deciding the case. Kaplan said Trump continued defaming Carroll even during the trial through his statements and social media posts. Judge Lewis Kaplan noted Trump's departure on the record, stating, "Mr. Trump just rose and walked out of the courtroom."
